A custom modern masterpiece designed by the award-winning firm of Bodron+Fruit just hit the market, and it’s a gem. Tucked away on heavily-treed grounds, 4603 Bluffview Boulevard is a sleek limestone and glass home designed with privacy and efficiency that maintains a deep connection to its natural setting.
Svend Fruit and Mil Bodron are known for intelligent design that includes restorations and renovations on notable modernist Dallas homes including the Philip Johnson house on Strait Lane. This home is the fifth project Bodron+Fruit have completed with the present owners, and a true reflection of what happens when clients reach a comfort level that allows design genius to have free reign.
Floor-to-ceiling, low-E insulated windows and doors allow for an unobstructed views over the park-like setting designed by Mary Ellen Cowan at Mesa Design Group. Limestone walls provide a cool contrast to the warm walnut floors and quarter-sawn teak cabinetry. The house was also created to showcase and protect the owners’ extensive art collection. A fully-automated Lutron dimming and shading system controls artificial and natural light throughout the day.
The Montclair Danby marble-clad gourmet kitchen has professional Miele appliances and blends seamlessly into both indoor and outdoor living areas.
Molly Hurt of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International has the 3,312-square-foot property listed at $3.625 million. “The master suite, like virtually every other room in the house, is completely private with views of the trees,” she said. “The travertine marble master bath features heated floors, a double shower, and Dornbracht fixtures.”
The home has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bath. The large second bedroom has a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with travertine marble and a jetted tub. The third bedroom is presently used as a study and overlooks a landscaped courtyard.
Seldom do you find an architectural gem in such a central location that has all the style, efficiency and ease of high-rise, lock-and-leave living with none of the drawbacks.
